PWP NYC vs. Raine? Did I make the right decision?
I received offers from both firms and took PWP NYC. I find myself second guessing for some reason. Did I make the right call here? I'm interested in TMT if that wasn't clear.

I would've taken PWP NY too. While Raine has established its name in the media space, PWP NY has a massive edge when it comes to TMT at-large. PWP's name is much bigger than that of Raine too. You'd be surprised to see the number of people who don't know about Raine outside of WSO/media & ent. communities. Raine's analysts often stick around for 3+ years. If you're not particularly keen on media, it's not even close.
Thank you :)) Glad to know I'm just overthinking. And honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. I didn't know about Raine until they came to my school for an info session. I'm pretty sure most of my friends weren't familiar either.
Agree ^. Unless you desperately want exposure to media/sports/entertainment or the merchant banking model, I don’t see a reason to second guess yourself here. Don’t look back and congrats on the offer.
Thank you :D
couldn’t go wrong either way. personally curious how is company at raine?
With all due respect, Raine isn’t in the same league as PWP. As someone else said above, don’t look back and enjoy the summer stress-free.
